What will the ethnic, racial and cultural face of the United States
look like in the upcoming decades, and how will the American
population adapt to these changes? Immigration, Cultural Identity,
and Mental Health: Psycho-social Implications of the Reshaping of
America outlines the various psychosocial impacts of immigration on
cultural identity and its impact on mainstream culture. Thoroughly
researched, this book examines how cultural identity relates to
individual mental health and should be taken into account in mental
health treatment. In a time when globalization is decreasing the
importance of national boundaries and impacting cultural identity
for both minority and mainstream populations, the authors explore
the multiple facets of what immigration means for culture and
mental health. The authors review the concept of acculturation and
examine not only how the immigrant's identity transforms through
this process, but also how the immigrant transforms the host
culture through inter-culturation. The authors detail the risk
factors and protective factors that affect the first generation and
subsequent generations of immigrants in their adaptation to
American society, and also seek to dispel myths and clarify
statistics of criminality among immigrant populations. Further, the
book aims to elucidate the importance of ethnicity and race in the
psycho-therapeutic encounter and offers treatment recommendations
on how to approach and discuss issues of ethnicity and race in
psychotherapy. It also presents evidence-based psychological
treatment interventions for immigrants and members of minority
populations and shows how psychotherapy involves the creation of
new, more adaptive narratives that can provide healing, personal
growth, and relevance to the immigrant experience. Throughout, the
authors provide clinical case examples to illustrate the concepts
presented.
